Yes, there is an I386 folder, and on the Compaq Restore CD, there's 4 more. I've tried over and over to get the Compaq slipstream to work. The end result is a fully slipstreamed OS DVD that installs as Windows XP SP(zero) when used in conjunction with the Compaq Restore CD. Yes, I said DVD - the OEM XP CD that shipped with our Compaq PCs measures almost 750MB when copied to the hard drive and grew to about 900MB after slipstreaming. No, I don't want to fiddle with removing features - Tried it and kept getting windows protection errors every time something changed on the PC. I just want low maintenance no fuss. So, I figured fine, I'll just install the OS without using the Compaq restore CD. Who needs them anyway... The result was Windows XP SP2 with all the current XP hotfixes, and all the correct OEM drivers. And even better, the system tray isn't cluttered with OEM junk. Wheeeeeee! - then wham! - the OS wants me to activate within 30 days. So basically my question is, how do I integrate the two? Regards David The Slipstreamed OEM Dell CD works perfect on our Dell computers - of course Dell integrated the activation into one CD.
